@"Alex Divine" said: GT is going to be accepting GRE scores this cycle from what I've read. Thanks, Alex. If the LSAT falls and everyone hears it will my chances fall too?

I can't open the article. Is Georgetown's change next cycle like Northwestern or this cycle like Harvard?

Dear EesLSAT2017, I doubt the midnight mash is the best answer to your dilemna. I can only give so much advice. I started out close to flawless on reading comprehension and logical reasoning so it's hard for me to really give good advice on how to…

@patrickfollis said: My response to any skepticism I've noticed in this thread with respect to the "midnight mash" is twofold: As a psychology major, I am aptly qualified to make statements about the tendencies of the human brain. True, w…

It seems to me that there are two possibilities here. The LSAT is no better than the GRE at predicting law school success. This seems like a stunning failure. A specifically designed test for law school aptitude is no better at predicting law schoo…

@mzoodle said: In one lesson, Jy says, the contapositive of "If Tom plays then Jerone and Simmi play too", is " If Jerone and Simmi do not play, then Tom won't play". However, it can be that J and S can play, even though T does not. If it woul…

I am taking the 15 most recent tests over the next couple weeks as long as the June one is released. It depends if this is your first take, you are not sure, or it will be your last take. I already took and have a 172 in the bank from February and t…

Edit: Posted explanation of spelling mistake in previous comment, but then remembered I could edit it.

The above comment is right if + symbolizes or, but in my experience + is usually used to mean and. If that is the case, it is valid. If A implies B. Then A and C will always imply B. This is because A and C implies A and A implies B. A-- >B A a…

It's absolutely not necessary to do PT's in the morning before you are two weeks out. I only studied for 3 weeks interupted by oral surgery before my first LSAT and got a 172. I didn't have more than 2 weeks worth of morning PT's. But the question i…

I agree with the above posters. Almost everyone probably can hit an average close to a 180 given enough practice. That said I would not recommend that everyone's prep strategy should be to just study as many months or years as it takes to get them t…

@Harrison_Pav said: @"Seeking Perfection" You put a lot thought into your response, and I must say it's well written, and thank you for taking the time to respond. So I'll give in on the low income/middle class premise, because I think yo…

In Defense of the LSAT @Harrison_Pav said: I think the way the test is used currently lets a lot of poor performing students into law school and a lot of great performing students out. Lastly, what about the students who can't afford great LS…

I'm a KJD applying this cycle so I can't offer all that much advice on your first question. It probably depends on how locked in you are by the deferral. Are you allowed to apply to different schools? If not, you don't have a lot of leverage, though…

I should have been more clear. I think their might be some confusion, Alex. @"Alex Divine" said: @"Seeking Perfection" said: @"Alex Divine" said: @"Seeking Perfection" said: How…

@"vanessa fisher" said: Interesting questions With the plagiarism concern, I think Personal Statements are hard to plagiarize considering that each person has unique life experiences. In fact, if your essay was easy to plagiarize and could …

On the other hand, the long drive might ensure that you wake up and hit the road with plenty of time to fully wake up. I'd still do everything you can to get it switched. However, I don't always sleep well in a hotel so I might not go that route. I…

I'm fairly sure that the core curriculum videos and the problem sets mostly draw from tests 1-35 in order to leave the others free for practice tests. Therefore, I doubt taking tests 1-30 will be all that much more useful to you than retaking the ne…

@hon132 said: Since PT 81 was the June LSAT, most likely they're giving time to challenge the questions like you said. Occasionally, questions do get thrown out and it's better to cross a question out now than dealing with people who email abo…

This is a little late, but I certainly don't subvocalize. I read a lot slower and more carefully on the LSAT than for fun or for school, but never considered slowing down enough to subvocalize. Even if it improves comprehension the time loss would …

I think you nailed the reason. Their shouldn't be any significant editing since it is the same as the actual test except for the experimental section and printing does not take that long. They should have been able to start printing and shipping th…

I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but my understanding is that LSAC reweights everyone's GPA's counting all the college classes that we have taken before the awarding of our first Bachelors degree. If your school awards A+'s, they are …

Sorry about the bolding, I tried to make to horizontal lines using the "-" and it bolded the preceding paragraphs. Ignore the part between the bolded paragraphs unless you are interested in why I take PT's back to back like Alex Divine seemed to be.…

I wasn't so much recommending that anyone replicate my exact strategy so much as lauding the virtues of experimentation. I am taking back to back pt's (the reason why isn't really important) and this led to me noticing that I do better after I have …

I'm naturally a fairly fast reader, but on the logical reasoning section I always read everything (although it takes less time to read the question stem than the rest since they are all similar to past stems). I think there is probably less text to…

I'd recommend experimenting with it. I have been taking a pair of tests back to back every Saturday to build endurance, but have found myself scoring a slightly higher average on the second test. I have considered taking a full practice test the mor…

I have the latest update, the latest app, and I use a Galaxy S5. All the other videos work fine, but the logic games do not.

I hope schools don't look at section scores. I took the undisclosed February test so I can't even look at mine. They accept the February test so I would hope I am not at a disadvantage. P.S. I am not actually concerned. I'm just pointing out anothe…

Hi, I am no certain that I have fully made the jump to being a consistant 175+ scorer, but it feels like I have. My first diagnostic was about a 165. Three weeks of study later (broken up by surgery to remove my wisdom teeth) I scored a 172 on th…
